Kariuki's prayer Update .
Nov 2022
Dear Praying Friends,
It has been a trying few months interspersed with rays of divine intervention and grace. Health wise, Jo and the girls have really struggled with asthma and allergies during this time of year with lots of dust and pollen. Jo is doing better, but the girls still have lingering coughs. Zack and Moses, for the most part, are doing well. The dust is worse than usual this year due to prolonged drought - we haven’t had good rains for 4 years in a row. In addition to many families facing food insecurity, in the north camels and other livestock are starving, while wildlife in Tsavo and livestock in Masai land were also heavily impacted. Thanks be to God for consistent light rains in the last two weeks covering most of the country. We are praying for good rains for the next harvest to be plentiful.
Grace has been in the continued provision in these very challenging times as we have lost quite a bit of financial support with the global economic crisis. We are thankful for several unexpected gifts which have evened things out, enabling Moses’ continued travel for ministry and training of laborers for the kingdom.
Moses has had his pastoral plate full with many of our staff facing challenges in Chad and Kenya. Chad has had unprecedented floods and political violence. Demonstrators agitating for democratic representation were met with extreme force from government forces with many killed and others hospitalized with gunshot wounds. As we write this the government has imposed a dusk to dawn curfew in all the major towns in Chad.
Moses has also been called upon to provide insight and counsel to quite a few members of our extended YWAM family who are facing personal and vocational challenges during this season. Prayers for wisdom and continued grace much appreciated!
We have been praying for Joshua to come to Kenya for Christmas and we are thankful to have his ticket booked and plans in place! We have missed this boy and the siblings can hardly wait for their brother to visit. It will be a short visit but hopefully enough time for him to recharge and for us to enjoy his presence.
Please pray;
o For peace and stability in Chad
o For comfort for families in Chad that lost loved ones (the Toralta and Mbaingera families)
